Can someone tell me if they know of anyone who has had a strange # of questions for the NCLEX? I hear about people having 75, 100, 180, 230, etc. I had 90 questions. Anyone out there know if that's common or does that sound like bad news? I'm a nervous wreck! They told me that the HESI is a good indicator of how one will do on the NCLEX. I passed HESI the first time with a 955. I took the NCLEX earlier this week and I think I would rather take the HESI again. I walked out from taking the NCLEX feeling like a complete failure.

Re: STRANGE # OF NCLEX Questions!

There's really no way to predict. You can literally pass or fail at ANY number. and the odds are alwasy around 88% that you passed at any number so dont stress.

have you done the pearsonvue trick yet? it works.

Re: STRANGE # OF NCLEX Questions!

Any number between 75 and 265 is not strange. Numbers indicate nothing. People pass with 265, people fail with 75, everything is up for grabs

Re: STRANGE # OF NCLEX Questions!

2 of my friends took it in June and ended at 90 questions; both passed. I have faith you did as well. Let us know the verdict

Re: STRANGE # OF NCLEX Questions!

A classmate got 150 qs and passed. You really can't tell until they tell you

Re: STRANGE # OF NCLEX Questions!

Took mine yesterday and got 110 questions. I feel the same way you do.

Re: STRANGE # OF NCLEX Questions!

I passed with 110 questions.

Re: STRANGE # OF NCLEX Questions!

I took mine last june...the first time i took it I stopped at 85...FAILED...the second time i stopped at 85 again and FAILED...so what is that??? i feel like someone is controling the computer if they want to pass you or not..

Re: STRANGE # OF NCLEX Questions!

I just heard another classmate stopped at 240. I'll let you know what the outcome was.

Update: she passed.
